It was Friday, May 12, 2017, lapho abantu abaninzi emhlabeni wonke wahlala ikhompyutha zabo (noma ATMs, ATMs, futhi POS terminals) futhi bafumene isizukulwane esifanayo efanayo. Ngaphandle isikhwama yokubhalisa noma izikhwama zomdlavuza, i-screens zihlukile nge-black-and-red ransom note. Isikhwama, ebizwa ngokuthi "Wanna Decrypt0r," futhi esilandelayo eyaziwa ngokuthi "WannaCry," wathi amafayela zihlukile futhi indlela kuphela lokufinyelela kuyinto ukuhweba Bitcoin. Ukuphakamisa, kunezinye izixhumanisi ezimbili ezincinane ngezansi: "About Bitcoin" futhi "How to Buy Bitcoin". Kuyinto emangalisayo, kodwa futhi emangalisayo emfundo, futhi izithombe yayo ekreni yokutholuketshezi kwenziwa omunye imiyalezo yekhompyutha ethandwa kakhulu eminyakeni. For many people, this was the first time they had ever seen the word. In one stroke, a piece of ransomware managed to give the world a crash course in crypto. Yini WannaCry I-WannaCry akuyona i-ransomware yokuqala, kodwa i-ransomware enikezela njenge-wildfire. I-ransomware yindlela ye-malware enikezela ifayela akho kuze kube ukhokhe, futhi lokhu kuyinto ezizodwa ngenxa yokusebenza njenge-worm enhle kakhulu. Ngaphandle kokufunda umuntu ukulanda i-shadow attachment, i-cockpit yahluka ematshini ngamatshini ngokuzimela. Amangqamuzana awukwazi ukwenza yini yokufaka. Kuyinto okwenza okuhle kakhulu. Kwiintsuku ezimbili, ezingaphezu kwama-200,000 amakhompyutha ezingu-150 amazwe . Ukukhishwa Ukukhishwa Konke kwaba ukususwa kwe-Windows ye-file-sharing system ebizwa ngokuthi i-Server Message Block (SMB). Uma abadlali we-WannaCry baye lithuluzi kulabo, kuyinto njengomthombo wokufuna izakhiwo zofuzo emhlabeni wonke. Amahhotela, amayunivesithi, amabhizinisi, amabhizinisi amabhizinisi, futhi (i-ATMs, i-POS terminals, nezinye izinjini zokusebenza) baye ngempumelelo ngempumelelo se-cartoonic efanayo. The exploit, called EternalBlue, was reportedly developed by the US National Security Agency (NSA) and leaked online by a hacking group called the Shadow Brokers. Imikhiqizo Imikhiqizo https://x.com/amtinits/status/863166195461238784?embedable=true I-ransom isetshenziselwa i-Bitcoin ye-$300, emva kokuphuma ku-$600. I-victim ebizwa ukuthi baye amahora angu-3 yokukhokha, noma i-prize iyahambisa, futhi amahora angu-7 ngaphambi kokufaka amafayela yabo ngempumelelo. I-Bitcoin i-blocked izinhlelo eziningi ezinzima, okwenza ukuthi akuyona kuphela amafayela abalandeli. I-clock countdown ku-screen ye-ransom kuphela ivumela ukucindezeleka. Indlela It Wakhula Futhi Wakhula Yenza i-WannaCry enhle kakhulu kuyinto ijubane. Akukwazisa kuphela umkhosi omncane emzimbeni. I-WannaCry yahluka emakethe yekhompyutha ephelele. E-UK, i-National Health Service (NHS) yinkimbinkimbi enhle kakhulu. Izidakamizwa nezidakamizwa ziye bakwazi ukufinyelela kwebhizinisi lamakhasimende, izivakashi zikhulwe, futhi ama-ambulansi ziye zithunyelwe. , kuhlanganise I-Police of Andhra Pradesh (India), i-Deutsche Bahn (I-German Railway), i-Dharmais Cancer Hospital (Indonesia), i-National Health Institute (Colombia), i-LATAM Airlines (Chile), i-Ministry of Internal Affairs yeRashiya, i-PetroChina, i-Portugal Telecom, i-Justice Court of São Paulo, i-Telefónica Spain, i-University of Montreal (Canada), nezinye eziningi. Across the ocean, FedEx reported disruptions, and in Asia, companies like Honda and Hitachi had to shut down parts of their operations. Over 55 big companies, hospitals, universities, and governmental organizations reported infections I-Global Cost Ukubalwa Ngo-billions, hhayi ngokuvamile kusuka ku-ransom, kodwa isikhathi kanye ne-money eyenziwe ukwenza izinjini ezisebenzayo. Futhi kunjalo, yonke into lihlala ne-one of the most strange acts of cyber-heroism in history. Imininingwane Imininingwane I-Domain Name I-Domain Name I-Domain Name I-Domain Name I-Domain Name I-Domain Name I-Domain Name I-Domain Name I-Domain Name I-Domain Name A young security researcher named Marcus Hutchins that the malware checked for a nonsense web domain before spreading. He registered that domain for about $10, which accidentally triggered the kill switch and slowed the outbreak. Ukukhangisa Ukukhangisa Ukukhangisa Okwakheka, umbhalo akugqithisa kuphela. I-Copycats yasungulwa ikhodi futhi yasungulwa ama-versions ezintsha. Amabhizinisi ashisayo ukuguqulwa kwezinhlelo zayo. Futhi ama-governments babona imibuzo emnandi mayelana nokuba ama-cyberweapons ehamba emzimbeni e-Internet ekuqaleni. Ukubonisa emhlabeni wonke Ngemuva kokuphuma, i-WannaCry uye kwenziwa kakhulu kunesonto sokukhubazeka. Kubangelwa kwama-meme. Abantu basungula ukufeza i-screen ye-ransom ekhukhwini kuzo zonke izixhobo abakwazi ukufinyelela, kuphela ngenxa yokuzikhethela. Ama-laptop, ama-smartphones, ama-coffee machines, ama-printers, ama-smart watches. Umntu walahle ama-images ye-screen ye-WannaCry eyenza i-bridge consoles ku-Star Trek Enterprise. Kuyinto indlela yokuvumela ukulawula, ukuguqulwa kwama-mashroom ku-cats, futhi kubonisa ukuthi uma amafayela akho bayikho, okungenani ingqondo lakho lokumangalisayo ayikho. https://x.com/new_orleansjazz/status/864133471773511680?embedable=true Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-2017, i-Bitcoin iye yinto emangalisayo ukuthi ama-geeks kanye nama-trader abalandeli. Kodwa lokhu, i-plasted ku-desktops ye-Office, i-monitors ye-hospital, kanye ne-memes ye-viral. The irony is that this strange kind of Internet graffiti gave even more visibility to the ransom note. And with it, those two little links about Bitcoin Ngemuva kwalokho, umbuzo akuyona "What is Bitcoin?" ku-tech forum. It was your boss asking in a panic, "How do we buy Bitcoin to pay for this thing?" Ngaphandle kokuba abacwaningi wabhalisele ukusabela futhi abaninzi abacwaningi akuyona, ukubukeka kwaba massive. Kukho ezigidi abantu kanye nezinhlangano emhlabeni wonke nge ikhompyutha eziqhutshwa, kodwa nabanye futhi baye ku-screens yabo nangona kunjalo, ngaphansi kwezindaba kanye nememes. Imiphumela Ngezinyanga ezidlulile lokuphuma, izibuyekezo zithunyelwe ukusuka ku-shock kuya ku-analysis. Microsoft (ne-Microsoft) (Imininingwane ) I-NHS yenza ukubuyekeza okuphakeme kwezinhlelo zokusebenza zayo, okuphakeme ukubuyekeza kakhulu ku-cyber defense, kodwa akuyona kakhulu. Izinkampani zokhuseleko nezifundo ziye zithunyelwe izilimi ezingenalutho mayelana futhi indlela yokuvimbela isifo esilandelayo. A key ukuguqulwa amafayela encrypted for free Ngaphandle kwalokho, i-copycat ye-Android devices abasebenzisi eChina. U-Edward Snowden Ngena ngemvume Njengomthombo I-WannaCry Ukukhishwa Ukukhangisa U-Edward Snowden Ngena ngemvume Njengomthombo I-WannaCry Ukukhishwa Ukukhangisa Ngaphandle kwe-cryptos, izinto ziye zihlanganisa kancane. Ngezinye, ukucubungula mayelana nokulandwa kwe-ransom wallets kubonisa ukuthi i-Bitcoin ayikwazi ukucubungula okungaziwa njengabafazi. Abacwaningi ukuguqulwa kwe-coins ku-blockchain, ngisho nangokuthi awukwazi ukufinyelela abantu emzimbeni. Bitcoin got a reputation problem (again, because let’s not forget ). To people who had only heard about it through WannaCry, it sounded like the currency of criminals. Silk Isitimela Ukulandelela Silk Isitimela Silk Isitimela Ukulandelela Ngiminyaka eminingi, ngokufanelekileyo, ama-hackers abalandeli malunga ne-54.6 BTC (okungenani ama-$6.2 million namhlanje) Ngemuva kwe-2017, ngonyaka we-WannaCry, i-Bitcoin iguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguquguqugu ezinye izikhwama ezinye izikhwama Lessons futhi Odd Legacies Ukubuyekezwa, i-WannaCry ibonakala njenge-one of those moments when the world woke up to two things at once: the dangers of neglected cybersecurity, and the strange new reality of cryptocurrencies. For every office that scrambled to install patches, there was a kitchen table where someone asked what Bitcoin was. And for every hospital crisis meeting, there was a meme of the ransom note taped on a smart refrigerator. Imininingwane ye-Bitcoin , futhi okuhlobisa ukufuma kwezinye networks crypto. Iziprojekthi ezingaphezu ziye zihlanganisa ngezindlela ezahlukile ze-decentralisation. As dark as it was, the episode put crypto on the map. It proved that money native to the Internet could appear in unexpected places, good or bad Ukulungiswa Ukulungiswa , umzekelo, uqala izinyanga ezidlulile, ngo-2016. Kwangathi, i-Obyte isithintela iningi yayo yokusiza kubathengi be-Bitcoin, okuxhumanisa ukukhula kwelanga le-Bitcoin. Ngokungafani ne-Bitcoin blockchain, i-Obyte isekelwe ku-Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), eyenzelwe ukuba iyathintela ukususwa kusukela ekuqaleni. Ukubuyekezwa Ukubuyekezwa Ngaphezu kweminyaka, lokhu kuboniswa kakhulu. I-Ransomware ama-attacks Nge-censorship kanye ne-surveillance, isixazululo esikhulu . Ukunciphisa Izinzuzo ze-Global Ukunciphisa Izinzuzo ze-Global I-Obyte isixazululo se-Geeky noma i-Shady. I-Obyte isixazululo se-Community-Driven Apps ne-Censorship-Resistant Payments and Communications. Ukulungiselela lokhu: ukhuseleko kubaluleke, umlando iyahlukile nezimo ezinzima, futhi ngezinye izikhathi izihloko ezinzima ziye ziye ziye ziye ziye ziye ziye ziye ziye zihlanganisa nge-smile iminyaka embalwa. I-WannaCry iyahambelana nangokuthi usuku le-Bitcoin ihlolwe emkhakheni emhlabeni wonke. Yini abantu zenza nge-crypto kusukela lapho, kusuka ku-memes kuya ku-networks efana ne-Obyte, isithombe esizayo. I-Vector Image ye-Freepik I-Freepik I-Freepik
